One of the strongest meteor showers of the year is about to peak during a period of heightened activity for the Northern Lights, but is your night sky dark enough for the rare combination? On Saturday, Dec. 13, the Geminid meteor shower will peak \u2014 and all you need is your eyes, warm clothes and a dark sky. <\/p>\n
Here are 11 public viewing events across the U.S. \u2014 some which need booking ahead \u2014 where you can take a lawn chair and a blanket, dress for colder temperatures, and give yourself to see bright meteors from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon \u2014 and perhaps even glimpse a faint aurora glowing on the horizon in the north.<\/p>\n
